Members of Congress have been actively engaging in discussions and advocating for the passage of the Farm Bill, which is up for renewal every 5 years. The bill addresses a range of issues from crop insurance to nutrition programs like SNAP. Representatives from both parties have met with various stakeholders, including the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska to restore 1,600 acres along the Missouri River, Ducks Unlimited, the Iowa Farm Bureau, and the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau to discuss the bill's importance for agriculture, conservation, and food security. The House Ag Committee is working to protect and enhance wetlands and grasslands across Kansas, while also focusing on agricultural sustainability and developing rural communities. House Democrats have outlined their principles for the bill, emphasizing opposition to proposed cuts to critical farm and food safety-net programs, equity, and ensuring bipartisan support. Discussions have also touched on California's Prop 12, the EPA's excessive power on Waters of the United States (WOTUS), product mislabeling, and the farm safety net. The bill aims to provide solutions to Prop 12, combat high input costs, and ensure quality, affordable food for all.
Passing the Farm Bill this year is crucial for supporting our farmers & ranchers, developing rural communities, and ensuring food security! I'm eager to work with both parties to pass this important bill. https://t.co/OdNfc6KE3L
It was great to meet with the @PAFarmBureau to discuss their priorities for this year's Farm Bill. I am committed to supporting our farmers by protecting & expanding SNAP, combatting product mislabeling, defending the farm safety net, & passing a Farm Bill that works for all. https://t.co/O0SllabIGD
The #FarmBill is critical to feeding hungry families, supporting our farmers, & advancing agriculture sustainability. We can't let Republicans hold this important legislation hostage. We must bring the #FarmBill to the floor for debate and consideration! https://t.co/Po4gOqiBMJ
Every 5 years Congress passes a #FarmBill covering a wide range of issues, from crop insurance to nutrition programs. The bill is up for renewal this year & we must use this opportunity to lower costs for working people, strengthen American agriculture & fight food insecurity.

Protecting and enhancing SNAP is a top priority of mine. That's why I'm standing united with my Democratic colleagues in the House in opposing proposed cuts to critical farm and food safety-net programs. Read our #FarmBill principles here: https://t.co/1jRQgwZmAj
Iowa’s farmers and producers are the backbone of our economy. They're dealing with the strain of California's Prop 12 and high input costs putting their businesses at risk. I’m fighting to pass the Farm Bill to protect our farmers and rural communities. https://t.co/a0T0gAAaxn
